PHOENIX -- Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio
presented
results of what his volunteer cold-case posse
found when they looked into the authenticity of
President Barack Obama's birth certificate that was given
by the White House in April of 2011.

"We believe probable cause exists that we believe forgery
and fraud may have been committed," Arpaio said.

Their results showed the birth certificate did not
originate in paper format as claimed by the White House.

"At the very least I can tell you this," Arpaio said.
"Based on all the evidence presented and investigated, I
cannot, in good faith, report to you that these documents
are authentic."

The volunteers showed multiple videos [that can be seen
below] that explained their
findings on Thursday after Arpaio spoke.

Arpaio and the volunteers both said they were hoping the
results would come back that the certificate was indeed
authentic.

"My investigators believe that the long form birth
certificate was manufactured electronically and that it
did not originate in a paper format as claimed by the
White House," Arpaio said.

This investigation was launched six months ago in August
of 2011 by Arpaio
after members of the Tea Party gave him a signed petition
asking him to investigate the certificate.

The current controversy was thought to be over by many,
but
remains alive to some conservatives.
